Little Kid Ghost? by wrh1969

I am going to tell you guys another true story that happened to me in Maryland in 2011. My wife and I rented a house in Waldorf MD, I never felt right in that house. When I looked at it from the outside, it looked a little dark, even during the early afternoon. The house had wooden floors throughout...

Grim Reaper In The Nursing Home by DarriuxDarkk

This happened about 7 or 8 years ago, I can't really recall the exact time but it has been a very long time already. I was working on this Nursing Home back when I still live in Baltimore, Maryland. I was a new Nurse back then and I was stationed at this skilled unit they called the Vent Unit. N...

Soldier Ghost by DarriuxDarkk

This happened around 2009 when my family moved in to this old house that was built in the 60s. It was a two storey house with 4 bedrooms, 2 on the 2nd floor where my room is and my little brother has also. The Master's bedroom is on the first floor and another room for my older brother. It has a bas...

My Holocaust Museum Experience In Washington Dc by Glaziola-Nacht

April 20th 2016 (My 9th Grade Year): I had taken the train from Frederick, Maryland with my entire German 1 Class to Union Station in Washington DC.

Weasley by Janellexx89

In January of this year we got a kitten we named Weasley to join my other cat Dil. Everything has been fine, he's a normal kitten playful, rowdy and gets into everything. But lately his demeanor has changed. I know he's sometimes scared of my boyfriend because my boyfriend is a little clumsy and has...

Being Watched Since Birth by Hauntedforever13

I was born on Friday the 13th. It all started when I was a young child. I spent my infancy until 2nd grade in a big old mansion. My parents moved there when I was born. My mom tells me that the second we moved there my dad, who is against all paranormal beliefs, immediately thought it was haunted an...

Who's Walking Up There? by Janellexx89

It's been awhile since I posted a story. This will be my second story on here. Check my page for my first story. I have so many to post just never the time.

Ghost In Apartment#216 by Ravishingroxy

I lived with my family in a beautiful apartment complex in Silver Spring, MD from 2000-2003. During our stay there we encountered quite a few strange incidents that I'm sharing here. It all started about a month after we moved in. I was 17 and my sister was 11. I saw my family deity in my dreams....

Knock, Knock by Janellexx89

I've been a member on this site for a couple of years now but this is my first story on here. This just happened to me and my brother's girlfriend a little over an hour ago, so about 9:30 PM. I need to give you a little layout of the upstairs in my house. You come up the steps from the living ro...

Haunted From The Day I Moved In by thebigb68

I, my wife, and stepdaughter moved into a small Colonial style home 7 years ago. I love the house. It was built in 1900 and it has a lot of character. The town we live in is rich in history. My wife was very pregnant with our son at the time and my step daughter, I will call her Kayla, was 5 years o...

Shadowman by AntiSocialFeminist

About 6-7 years ago I was living in Maryland with my grandparents. They had this huge old estate home with white clapboard siding, dark shutters, and it was two stories high and had about 8 rooms. At the time my aunt and her three young kids were living there as well. In my room I had my own bat...

Someone Standing In My Doorway by stburris

This is my first story. I am still scared about what I've experience. Here it goes. This strange event happened last year sometime. I don't remember the exact date, but I do remember the time. But anyways, one day I came home from a long day at work (I work in DC and the daily commute can be ext...

He Whispered In My Ear by LayaMcDowell

I have a lot of experiences with the dead. But this one might be far too interesting and unrealistic. I'm unpacking my room, getting comfortable in my new house. It was dark so I was blasting music in my room to get done. I hear a loud crash come from downstairs. I thought it was my mother, so I...

Grandma's House By The Woods by _tayjadzia_

I do not even know where to start, but I have to say that I have had only a few paranormal experiences, most being at my grandmother's home. The house is located in Odenton, MD right in front of the woods. As a child, I visited my grandmother quite often, every summer in fact. I was always afraid...

Red Eyes And The Guardian by redthunder_80

My multiple experiences... Part 1 Hello everyone. I will start by letting you know that I am a big fan of the paranormal. I often go to reputed haunted places to see if I can find anything for myself. I have several stories to share, and I am happy that I have found this website to share it on. ...

My First Paranormal Experiences by Charles_Edward

To start, I would like to say thank you to this site and its members for allowing me to publish my story. I have read several amazing and terrifying stories that allowed me to talk about mine. Everything that I am about to write is 100% true, trust me, I wish it wasn't. From what I have researched a...

The Thing In My Yard by gemini_syndrome

It has been a long time since this happened when I was 11 years old and I am still not too sure of what that thing was. Okay, so I walked back into my bedroom after watching some 'Monsters and Mysteries' downstairs (Highway 666 for those of you who have seen it) and I am always extremely paranoid...

The Toy Train by chelseamari19

I guess it started when I was little. My mom and I have always been a little more... Open... To the things unexplainable. I was about 5 years old, making my brothers 4 and 3. My brother who was 3 is autistic, and his 'tick' was trains. My mother would hear his toy train go off (it made choo choo noi...

My Boyfriend by Rishi

I am writing to see if I can possibly get answers. I will tell you about some of my experiences but I mostly want to see if someone could help me answer about my boyfriend. Ok, I never really had any scary type of situations but I remember the first time I had ever seen anything was when I was a...

Unknown Entities by JudgeMeNot

It's a bit hard for me to admit being in trouble by something that I have no idea how to deal with haha. But I've been seeing multiple black silhouettes, some big some small, in an abandoned house down my street that I've played in alone a lot when I was small. I've recently just moved back from yea...

Haunted Apartment by GottaWonder

I am posting this story in 2 parts since there were so many strange and occurrences at our old place. In this posting I'll start with the earliest things that happened, and finish in Part 2 with the later events, and suggest some theories we had for the hauntings. I hope you enjoy these accounts, an...

Something At The Window by Mishipeshu

This happened when I lived in my old house with my parents. I was lying in bed being lazy, sometime late in the morning. I had been woken up rather recently by my mom saying she was going to work/in town, but it had been long enough were I wasn't sleepy or on the edge-of-sleep by any possibility. ...

Elliot's Messenger by LeavesFall

When I was 15 years old, we had a cat named Elliot. We'd had him nearly all my life, he was pushing 12 or 13 at this time. He'd been a constant companion, and while I wasn't particularly close to him, he was definitely family. We used to call him King Elliot because it was clear he ruled our neighbo...

A Family Story by TheVoiceofEdgarAllenPoe

I've heard children complain about things in their closet; my story actually happens to be real. During the early years of my life, my grandparents were a major part of my life, for they lived very close. It has been 4 years since they're passing (they both passed in the same year) and my memories a...

Paranormal Life by UndeadExplorer

Since I was young I have had some strange and even movie like encounters. If you can imagine a movie where the kid looks out the window and sees a boy and decides to go after the boy? That's what happened to me several times when I was younger. The odd thing is that I don't believe it is my house th...

House Making It Hard To Remain A Skeptic by m15terp1nk

I'm going to start by mentioning I am a skeptic. Not to say that I don't believe paranormal occurrences can take place I just try to find the most rational explanation first. The house I live in is making it hard to deny the fact that there is something wrong here. The earliest occurrence I can ...

Curious And Friendly Ghost by Eiknujcisuma

I will try to be brief and stay on topic but since this is my first post, please bear with me a little bit. This happened two weeks ago. My boyfriend has been living in the same apartment with two of his friends for about 6 years in Gaithersburg, MD in a 60s style three-floor apartment building....

The Doorknob Is Turning by LindaG

I posted a story a few days ago about the attic light in our home where I grew up. That was about 7 months before this happened. I'd like to start out by telling as much as I know about the house I grew up in. It was built at the turn of the century, like many of the homes in the neighborhood. The ...

Hello Again Dog by girlie

About two years ago, I lost my dog Pansy to what we think could have been antifreeze. We still don't know where she got it, but in the end she had to be put down. Well that was in March of that year. In June, we got a new dog, whom we named Soot. One thing you have to know is that we usually end...

Hello Again Kitten by girlie

This story makes me sad when I think of it, but here it goes. A LONG time ago, we had found a kitten. We named her De-De (in our family we name our animals in alphabetical order), and she lived in my brother's room because she was too small to stay outside. When she lived in my brother's room,...

New House New Troubles by dwyoung77

If you had the opportunity to read about my previous story, then you know that my experiences with the paranormal began in 2005. With all that had taken place in at my Bentalou street address, you would have believed that I would be prepared for all of what was to come in our Fulton Avenue home. ...

Now You See Me, Now You Don't by Dragonmyst955

First, let me explain a certain habit I have. I pace when I'm bored, nervous, thinking, or just in general feel restless, and I always pace in circles around my kitchen table. Another thing is that during breaks and weekends I tend to stay up late. I was pacing around my table while listening to m...

The Dark Shadow Over Me by Cai2011

I live in a very quaint older house in a quiet neighborhood in Maryland. I loved this house until several unexplained things started to happen and some visitors experienced the same things that I had experienced but for fear of being criticized by others I kept it to myself. On several occasions a...

Just A Normal Day by abrewer5

I've become really drawn to this site recently and decided to post some of my personal experiences. Let me start by saying I live in a house built in the 1800s, so it's pretty old and has probably seen a lot of stuff throughout the years. I don't have much history on the previous owners, my step dad...

Crying Girl by ultimaga95

Last year I got my bedroom switched from upstairs to downstairs. I have always hated my basement because it just gave off a bad feeling like something wanted to harm me. I never wanted to stay in my room I only went in there to go to sleep. About a month or 2 after my sister and I switched rooms I w...

Ancestry by ultimaga95

So, about 3 months ago, during the middle of the summer, this weird apparition came to me. This never happened before and I was kind of scared because this was one of the first times I have ever come into contact with anything that was paranormal. At around 11:30ish pm I was going to go to sleep...

Ghost Of A Former Property Owner's Wife by CoverD

I worked not to long ago for a catering place in the Baltimore area from high school through college. I don't remember the exact reason it was brought up, but I believe a few of the guys I was working with were talking about ghost stories and things like that while we were cleaning up. That's when o...

The Hag And My Father? by Amberly527

When I was 2 years old, almost 3, my father passed away. At the time, I didn't understand what death was. All I knew was I had been told my father wasn't coming back and even then I don't think I fully comprehended it. We lived in a single family home and my sister and I shared a room. Bunk beds to...

A Civil Tale by Lysergia25

It was quite simple really, where I live in MD is on what was once the grounds of an estate owned by John Hanson. The area is in Edgewood and I rent a small one bedroom little abode on this land once owned by this man. Anyway, I was in my kitchen doing dishes and I felt someone there. I looked up...

Strange Occurences by DasherFlip

I don't have anything amazing like in the ghost shows I've watched but I do have some experiences I have had with the house I lived in about 3 years ago. When I first moved into the house I never felt anything strange with it. I just thought it's a beautiful house with large space and a big backyar...

Paranormal Years by Hawkeye1981

Back When I was nineteen, I moved into an apartment in Iowa City with my ex-girlfriend. Things were going great, we couldn't have been happier to be on our own, and we overlooked the fact that the complex was surrounded by a cemetery. However, the events that took place there were enough to turn any...

Eyes Of Incubi by carolyn3319

This is my first submitted story, so please forgive me. If I need to clarify any details I will be happy to do so as well as answer any questions. I am young adult, and have a weird feeling as to what may have occurred to me a week ago. After joining this site a few days ago, I quickly saw that ther...

To Investigate Or Not Too? by sowrongitsthomas

During the past few weeks weird stuff has been happening in my house. A few weeks ago I was home alone taking a shower, and my dog was downstairs. I began to hear ruffling sounds and it sounded like things were being pushed around. I assumed it was my dog so I turned off the shower and yelled, "SHAD...

Indian Drums In The Woods by JoshuaAD

This is for anyone familiar with Cecil County, Maryland. I used to live on a farm in that area, right near the Susquehanna River. I lived there from when I was 9 until age 15. There were a lot of weird experiences there, and even once a psychic came by and told us about spirits in the house. That wa...

The End? by t3h_h0bbitz

My last post to this site was what I thought would be my last experience that I would record here. Even though I was sure that I would have more experiences in the future, I felt that I should live with them and just move on with life. In all honesty, I felt a bit strange and silly to be posting my ...

Grandma's Little Haunted House by MidnightRose

I have been reading the stories on this site for some time now and I find them all very interesting. I find myself not only on the site everyday but also that I can't wait to read the stories that have been published. I really like this site! Let me start off by saying that I have never seen a ...

Invisible Hosts by samarana

My stepdad, who raised me all my life, had been transferred to NYC in 2000 as a journalist correspondent. My mom and I soon followed him and lived there from 2001 to 2002 and had to return to our country, Brazil, because of our jobs and school. But in January, 2003 we went to visit him again. We wer...

Colmar Manor Nightmare by Pooch84

Ever since I was little I was always scared of my house in Colmar Manor near Bladensburg and Cottage City primarily because we lived right next to Fort Lincoln Cemetery. I was seven years old when we moved into that house and it was creepy and old. But as the years went by it was worse. Finally when...

Whats's Wrong With Me? by johanna34

I know it's a lot but bear with me please. Ever since I can remember I've have had paranormal experiences and they still occur even today. I don't know if I'm physic or if I'm attracted to things or even imagining them. I've had some really scary experiences I have never shared them with anybody...

The Voice Amongst The Flames by t3h_h0bbitz

Over the past few months I have had encounters with demons. However, nothing that has happened has been as scary and unexplainable as what happened last night. Last night I did the usual thing I do before going to bed. I let the cat in. (She sleeps in my room); I finished a book that I had been ...
